On the recordJune 18, 2008

I would just take one additional small amount of time to thank my colleague and friend, Mr. Goodlatte, for the work that he did with me on this bill. As he said, this has been a bipartisan effort; had it not been, we wouldn't be here today. So I very much want to thank him and the other Members on his side of the aisle as well as the Members on our side of the aisle for all their hard work through this process. And also, I want to mention our staff, both my staff and the minority staff. The amount of time that they put into this bill has been extraordinary, the patience that they showed, having to sit in meetings and not make much progress for a lot of time is what you really want to see in public service. Our staff went above and beyond the call of duty. So, again, I thank all of my colleagues and urge my colleagues to vote to override the President's veto.
